Previously I looked at the ingredients and I wondered if it was lanolin I was allergic to, but with the names of some things it may be the exact same thing only a different name. With the Alba it looked all natural or organic, so I’m not certain what’s in there. Also it’s only on my lips I have the problem, I can use the Aquaphor or Cetaphil elsewhere and I’m fine but it was explained to me that the lips are a very thin layer of skin.
I am trying to find something that would somewhat protect my lips or at least help me to keep them in a health state. I had a friend suggest olive oil. I even thought of mineral oil because I don’t want to keep paying for each little tube. Ideas?
FYI I have had ecnezma (many times) and purigo (only once), but of course it was on my body.
